Look Back, Look Forward: Why Thanksgiving Week Matters for Your Business

Thanksgiving week is when most business owners finally slow down enough to reflect:

Where have I been this year?

Where am I now?

Where am I going next?

Most business owners don’t start because they love numbers.

You start because you love serving, creating, helping.

But somewhere along the way, the numbers become part of the story:

• What did I really earn?

• What will I owe?

• What will I keep?

• And what needs to change before January?

The truth is:

December is the month that decides your April.

For mid-size businesses,

your compensation, timing decisions, reimbursements, and retirement moves

will determine how much you keep.

For smaller businesses,

clarity matters even more.

QuickBooks isn’t bookkeeping —

it’s the tool that shows you your truth:

• what’s coming in

• what’s going out

• what’s committed and what’s actually yours

Chess vs Checkers

Checkers reacts month-to-month.

Chess sees the whole board — taxes, cash, timing, spending, and decisions.

Thanksgiving is the perfect week to move from reacting to leading.

Your Next Move

Ask yourself:

What one move can I make this week

that will give me clarity before December begins?

If you want support — whether tax strategy or QuickBooks clarity —

I’m here.
